If your complaint is about a fitness to practise decision made by a Panel where the process is prescribed by law or there is a legal right of appeal we cannot interfere with that decision.

Examples are:

A decision by an Investigating Committee Panel

A decision by a Conduct and Competence Committee Panel

A decision by a Health Committee Panel

A decision by a Registration Appeals Panel

If your complaint is about an administrative fitness to practise decision made on the basis of HCPC policy or guidelines, we cannot vary such a decision unless an investigation shows that the policy or guidelines were wrongly applied or new and material evidence has become available.

Examples are:

A decision that an allegation does not meet the standard of acceptance

The publication of a hearing outcome on our website
